Birds May Breathe is based out of New York, NY and is considered an Alternative/Indie band with influences from the rock era of the 60’s  which includes music by The Beatles and Beach Boys.  They formed their band in 2009 and have released 4 albums which have received great reviews; “Birds May Breathe”, “In Transit”, Relationships” and “Silent Movie”.

“It makes us crazy that when you hit your 40’s or 50’s, people assume you just play classic rock covers,” laments songwriter/guitarist John Barney. “No, No No - we still write our own music, good songs at that, and are willing to let the audience be the judge.”

One man a cappella vocalist Peter Hollens comes together with classical crossover singer Jackie Evancho in his new music video for Leonard Cohen’s classic song “Hallelujah.” Hollens’ and Evancho’s voices intertwine beautifully in this rendition of the well-loved song.

HUDSON VALLEY, NY | December 4, 2014 – Gritty, organic and true to it's roots rock-n'-roll, The Grape And The Grain recently released their self-titled full-length. Melding blues, folk and hard rock elements, their sound spans genres seamlessly, building a whole new realm of their own.

Esteemed English DJ & producer Gareth Emery recently fell in love with the beautiful José González track "Stay Alive" at the end of the movie The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, and spent the next two days crafting the amazing original into an electronic version for his sets.

In 1995 the first Gary Ho Ho Hoey album was released. Hoey's idea to put a rock edge on Christmas classics was inspired by his mother's love for Christmas and growing up in Lowell MA with his 4 sisters. 'With the last name, Hoey, I decided one day to record an album called Ho Ho Hoey and re-do some of my favorite Christmas classics with a rock guitar." It was an instant hit at radio and sold over 350,000 copies and has been a staple at most rock stations around the country ever since. "I love doing the Ho Ho Hoey Rockin Holiday Tour every year because I get to give back and help folks with various charities and toy drives. It allows me to help communities and have some fun at the same time. And it's Hoey's loyal fan base and his connection with them that keeps him going. 'I come out after every show to meet the fans,' says Hoey. 'I enjoy the feedback and interaction.'
